Question For BlogExplosion Surfers (Updated)

New poll for November 12!

First off, allow me to extend my condolences that you did not receive any mystery credits on that last click. Instead you ended up here, for which I am profoundly apologetic.

But while we have a few seconds together (it seems unlikely this will be more than a 30-second visit), allow me to ask you a question.

[poll removed]

In a previous poll I asked how many of the sites that BlogExplosion users click through they actually read. Almost 200 people chimed in. Here are the results:

  • 2.8% admitted to reading none of them.
  • 45.6% said they read the occassional one.
  • 51.4% said they read almost every one.

Those seem like pretty good results for me. It means that the majority of people who come to a site through BlogExplosion are at least sticking around to read a bit of the content.

    New and Notable Christian Books for March 2024

    As you know, I like to do my best to sort through the new Christian books that are released each month to see what stands out as being not only new, but also particularly notable. I received quite a number of new titles in March and narrowed the list down to the ones below. I…
